It started with a failed New Orleans trip: the idea to explore East Austin as if we had a whole vacation-like, open-ended, relaxing day to do so.
We started at Jo's on South Congress with coffee outside around 10:45am. Gorgeous day. Who knew so many people would want their pictures taken there next to the wall of Guero's.
Yes, none of this is East Austin, but we had to hit Tesoros first for sugar skull molds for Día de los Muertos. No small molds. I refrain from purchasing hand-embroidered Peruvian throw pillows and some luscious colorful hand-tooled Paraguayan leather purses and wallets.
Then it was time for Eco-Wise, as I was thinking a validation stamp there would help with parking. I now have some new gloves and earth-friendly mosquito extermination things. I had to get the stamp at Vulcan Video. Where I purchased two bottled waters.
The loose plan was to then catch Rich Harney at Whip In, as I need to chat with him about a House Concert, but, in the end, the lure of a breakfast taco at one of Melissa's favorite places was just too strong. Whip In must wait.
Now we head to East Austin to find that food truck: Veracruz All Natural. Per usual when I go somewhere new (for me) with Melissa, I am wondering where this place has been all my life. The fish taco is the best I have ever had.
Fish tacos are so often so disappointing: the fish is not seasoned enough; the fish (usually tilapia) is frequently dried out. There also is usually very insufficient shredded cabbage and sauce to make it anything special. Not so here. It was a huge taco and dripping with juicy stuff and spicy sauce. Thus, there are no pictures.
Next, we make our way down the street, with the idea to check out Big Red Sun and a book store Melissa has been wanting to visit.
En route, there are many lovely things to enjoy. Like the Chucky piñata here as an option for your next birthday party.
Big Red Sun, we soon learn, is not open on Sundays. Or Saturdays. I lust over the large white planters anyway. We discuss who can make such a thing for me for under $50.
We continue, walking, until almost at I-35, and then there it is. A real live book store. Farewell Books.
I am agog. First at the styling of the place.
The display of all this vinyl (Nina Simone!) looks remarkably like an art installation I saw at the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris in April 2012.
Then I am agog at the books themselves.
Who on earth carries a library copy, you know, with that crinkly plastic cover, of a novel by Alain Robbe-Grillet?
"Curated" is too precious and overused a word these days perhaps, but these books. They are intensely curated for the selection and display here. My heart beats faster, and I cannot resist. There she is: Simone de Beauvoir, subject of my senior honors thesis in French. And there too, perfect counterpoint, is André Malraux (in English). Simone is/was a profoundly influential feminist philosopher. Malraux -- subject of my junior honors thesis in French (much of which was written in the library at the Centre Georges Pompidou in the 80s) -- is a well-known misogynist. Exquisite. I buy them both.
Time to stop and rest with coffee.
We have so much time after all before the 5:30pm movie at Violet Crown (a documentary).
Someone dressed very well for our East Austin afternoon. And it was not I.
The lush plantings in front of a building that used to be Big Red Sun (I think) beckons, and we leave to ogle those plants on the walk back to the car.
We also find a lovely slice of a chuck of a pecan tree with a striking grain. It is just sitting on the street, in a pile of old electronics and wires and cords, for the taking.
In our final moment on Cesar Chavez before turning toward the car, I learn that TACOS GRINGAS means tacos with lettuce and tomato.
It's now a good time to head to Violet Crown. That is, it is time to make sure there is time to have an adult beverage before the movie.
Violet Crown is now "super-sizing" the libations into special movie-length libations. For wine the super-size is a "double pour." I may have opted for that.
And so ended the 5- or 6-hour day of East Austin that started on South Congress and allowed us only to make about a 5-block stretch of Cesar Chavez. It ended with popcorn and red wine for Art and Craft. And plans for another East Austin day.
I'll wear better shoes next time.
As we had no Outstanding in the Field extravaganza planned for this year, Mollie picked this event to tide us over--and it was a great one for a good local cause: saving Austin's Springdale Farm.
Urban farms are charming, important, and an important part of Austin's culinary landscape. But regulations abound, and the cost of compliance is killing the real work of maintaining this farm. So Austin's food community rallied in a big way on Sunday September 28 for a fundraiser to help save Springdale Farm.
For only $50 - a deal considering many of the food events Austin offers - we got exquisite cocktails (I vowed to stick to wine only, but then we tried what Cointreau was serving up) and samples of edibles from a veritable Who's Who of great Austin eateries. And we got vintage furniture seating areas, and music, and some Farm Games (Chicken "Poop" Bingo). Given the really big crowd - and this is just a small part of it pictured below - I hope we made a substantial dent into the financial matter of saving Springdale Farm.
I lost my posse early on in the event, practically right out of the gate, because I paused a long time here at the table with the offerings from the Driskill Hotel. I just cannot say no to anything involving roasted corn. So I said yes to two of those little plates.
And all that was mixed in with some finely blistered shishito peppers.
Smart planning that the organizers had all those food offerings right up front. This allowed for something solid on the tummy to absorb the potent offerings over at the cocktail stands. Many local favorites there representing the cocktail scene (e.g., Tipsy Texan):
There were wine offerings as well, from another local favorite: Austin Wine Merchant. Reminds me I need to stock up on Belle de Brillet over there for holiday parties.
Have never seen a more beautiful or more herbal gin and tonic than the one we sampled from here. A few sips were plenty. Those things were powerful.
Then it was time to figure out what that really long line was all about: it was Sonya Cote holding court over some pig and pig fixins. We asked what this offering of hers was called. She told us it was a "Pig Bar." Like a Bloody Mary bar, with the garnishes and all, but here the main event was a pig that had been grilled out over a large open grill right there.
A+ for the styling here: roasted lemons, thinly sliced apples tossed in a very light dressing, carrots in a like manner, without the creamy coating -- all served on a silver tray.
Here we saw up close some of the beautiful bounty of the farm: these eggplants (everyone was using produce from the farm in their offerings).
The Hightower turned these eggplants into this elegant offering, with crème fraiche and tomato gastrique. Yes, that beautiful pear-shaped item is in fact a very firm and tasty thin slice of this eggplant.
It was a fine afternoon, if a tad humid.
Many thanks to my friends for hanging out on a bench while I waited close to 30 minutes for that Cointreau cocktail. More on that later.
But most of all, many thanks to the many chefs who donated a lot of time and a lot of fantastic food to this most excellent cause.
After another good round of detoxing this summer, I was slowly coming out into the world and sampling alcohol again. And carbs. One of the first memorable experiences after the successful 21-day detox of no caffeine, alcohol, or grains/bread of any kind (seriously weird how great that feels) involved stopping by a friend's house to sample something that sounded just too good to refuse: freshly-made salsa accompanied by a newly crafted cocktail she had created (infused vodka, cucumber, plus basil for healthy herbal freshness).
That sounded so good it got me out of bed after a nap, which had been required after some light holiday day drinking earlier in the day with the neighbors.
The spread that awaited me was pretty much how I could eat every day. Snacks. But gorgeous ones of textures and colors that I just don't have around my house everyday.
Not only was there salsa mexicana (upper right), but also a bowl of peanuts and pumpkin seeds fried with garlic and chiles de árbol (bottom left). I went to town on the peanuts and pumpkin seed combo pretty quickly.
And then there was that cocktail.
On my arrival she was in prep phase: chopping the lovely multi-colored tomatoes into the salsa, and then effortlessly but patiently chopping the onions into perfect tiny little squares. Someone was sent to the store for more chips. "Really...I did not mean to be such a bother...." as I eyed the bowl overflowing with big beautiful colors and could not wait to dig in.
I then exclaimed, as the bowl filled up with all that color: "Check that out. All the colors of the Mexican flag!" I am surprised she did not disown me as a friend right then (I have a masters in Latin American Studies after all). Right, she says: thus the name "Salsa Mexicana."
It was spicy. Really spicy. And I could not get enough of it.
All too soon, or maybe just in the nick of time, there was nothing left.
I did not feel too badly that my 21-day purification cleanse of no bread ended with a few chips. The chips were just the vehicle for scooping all that up.
I tried the same concoction chez moi a few days later. Disaster. None of that tangy fresh addictive spiciness. My problem, I would find out from the expert, was that I used some lame jalapenos. I should have used serranos. And I probably should have paid closer attention to getting the salt and lime juice proportions right. The recipe is easy. It is the execution of chopping just right, and adding everything in the right proportions, that can be tricky for the newbie. This is all you need after all:
serrano peppers
freshly-squeezed lime juice
When I finally tried it again, victory was mine. And I had some pretty painful burning on the left hand from the serrano-chopping to prove it. (Be very careful with the serranos. Soaking the left hand in milk worked pretty well to cool the burn. And another reader recommended yogurt.)
Peanuts and pumpkin seeds fried in garlic with chiles ... for the next dinner party.
Angers, France is Austin's sister city, and it's worth a visit for many reasons--including what is nearby: the already very special Fontevraud Abbey made even more special now for the recently opened gorgeous new hotel and restaurant right on the Abbey grounds.
Visit the Abbey and the grounds for sure, and soak up the history of Eleanor of Aquitaine ("one of the most powerful and fascinating personalities of feudal Europe" one random www source says), then spend the night and wake up in perfect quiet and peace in the French countryside. The style of the hotel decor may be best characterized as W Hotel meets high-end organic, sleek yet monastic. Seriously sublime.
Fontevraud lends itself well enough already to fabulous outdoor celebrations, including festivals that keep the grounds open until all hours, with films projected everyone, including the Abbey walls, and people sleeping wherever a sleeping bag may fit. Sleeping peacefully in the cool tones of beige and white of the hotel rooms though is well worth the splurge.
Visit the hotel web site here to see what I mean, and learn about the Abbey's fascinating history here. At the hotel web site, be sure and click on that video for views via a cute little drone to get up close and personal with the countryside and the hotel's interiors.
Back when I visited in April 2014, I was not sure they would make the May launch date. But make it they did. In grand style. Jealous of Angers friend who received a special invite to attend these festivities, but as he sent me the pictures, all is forgiven.
The photos are the work of David Darrault, and all are protected by copyright. A big thank you to the Abbey staff (merci, Anne !) for letting me share his superb photos here.

(Not my guest bedroom where this Life Lesson occurred,
but my very comfortable bed at a charming hotel in Saumur from that April 2014 trip.
I have asked Santa to find and bring this comforter duvet thing to me for Christmas.
Soft natural linen on one side, soft furry stuff on the other side.)
My son is leaving for college in a year, and it occurred to me that I had been remiss (along with many things along the way, such as not being well enough informed of how early I needed to start nagging about college applications, being afraid to look at his grades, living in denial about the state of his closet, etc.) in that he still lacked many life skills. But as he has been living with me his single working mom for years now he does have some skills in the Daily Household Living category: doing his own laundry, unloading the dishwasher, making rudimentary quesadillas (cut pieces from block of cheese crudely with knife; put cheese on tortilla; microwave; eat). And he has been putting his own plates away in the dishwasher since elementary school and occasionally setting the table--at least when I remember to yell upstairs and ask.
But it's time to ramp up the household daily life skills before he gets away from me. And so I started him on a series Life Skills, Cycle of Life Lessons this week in the summer, which I announced to him with very little reaction from him. I was getting pretty tired of his sitting around with a pulled/tight hamstring watching TV as I was figuring all day at home looking at international economic development issues and patent portfolios.
I decided he needed a behind-the-scenes look at some tasks, starting with the bed and its linens, to see all the mystery of how clean sheets managed to end up on a bed. House guests were arriving soon for the guest bedroom downstairs anyway.
Lesson One. Life Cycle of a Set of Sheets.
1. Strip the bed.
He did so. Overly well, in fact, as he also took off all the shams to the decorative pillows. This was an added bonus, as it allowed for a vocabulary lesson ("pillow sham"; "duvet").
2. Wash the sheets.
Then he had to take all that upstairs and place it all in the washing machine and start the washing machine. Then place them in the dryer. This was the easy part for him.
3. Make the bed with clean set of sheets.
Then it was time to actually make the bed. This was a good time for more vocabulary ("hospital corners" and "taut") and some family history about how my mom, his grandmother, became so expert at making a nice, taut, perfectly tucked-in bed from watching porters on the train trips her family took in the summers (back when that was an elegant way to travel).
He did not seem to care which side of the flat sheet was the one folded down nicely, so I set him straight on that. There was another lesson when putting the pillow case on the pillow: make sure the side of the pillow getting shoved in there first is the side with that annoying tag. I should rip those off anyway.
4. Finishing touches: the rest of the pillows.
A day later he had to get those shams from the dryer to put on the pillows. I finally took a look at how he did. The big square shams were on the big square pillows. Just a little more tucking in required to get that particular part of the pillow tucked in snugly into that flap of the sham. Not bad, considering that was a pretty advanced maneuver for bed-making.
The next lesson: "Life Cycle of Cooking 2-3 Meals a Day During the Summer while Mom Works at Home and Teenager Kills Time in Front of TV until Baseball Practice." I am anxious to see how he does with the delightful monotony of preparing a meal, eating, and cleaning up (which includes wiping down the counters too) three times a day. I told him this was all just to make sure he did not take these things for granted when they were done for him.
Today though, I asked if he cleaned up after lunch (I made him a real lunch that required messing up the kitchen again: a hamburger). He said yes, and added that he started the dishwasher. So, so proud. Now about those college applications....

Help??? :( nationalparker 01-22-2014, 10:24 PM Call your VET - don't come here for medical advice - human or animal. It could be something minor like eye goop b/c of allergies or something more serious. imabehot 01-22-2014, 10:46 PM Call your VET - don't come here for medical advice - human or animal. It could be something minor like eye goop b/c of allergies or something more serious. I'm not looking for medical advice okay I'm looking for suggestions on what it could from those that share the experience. imabehot 01-22-2014, 10:51 PM We're going to do an eyewash and see what happens. We think it's a round worm. I didn't even know that could happen.... but I saw it move so... I'm so worried about my baby. :( imabehot 01-22-2014, 11:12 PM okay the eyewash failed. And it is not a worm. It is however ATTACHED to his eye. I'm so scared for him. :( alaskanlaughter 01-23-2014, 01:28 AM if it's not coming off his eye with a gentle wash, take him for medical care because he could be seriously injured by trying to forcefully take it off his eye....is it bothering him? does he paw at it etc? ReillyJ 01-23-2014, 02:30 AM Take him to Emergency, better safe than sorry!! Psychic 01-23-2014, 09:21 AM Sounds like some sort of worm or parasite. Take your kitty to the vet and get it checked out. imabehot 01-24-2014, 02:52 PM Okay we pinched it to see if he felt anything... NOTHING. So we trimmed it just a little as adviced by a friend- i forgot why she said to do it i think she said it would work its way out. And I looked today and it's gone! And he's opening the eye all the way! Weird. Skittlez 01-26-2014, 01:25 PM It is never a good thing to self-operate on your pets, especially when you don't know what you are doing or what you are dealing with. imabehot 01-26-2014, 04:03 PM It is never a good thing to self-operate on your pets, especially when you don't know what you are doing or what you are dealing with. Excuse me but it wasn't part of him. We made sure of that. And so we trimmed it and it fell out and he's all better and very happy. It was probably just string. amandie 01-31-2014, 06:57 PM Omg, I would have never done that. You're lucky... Just for future reference (http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/general-chatter/111631-so-i-have-problem-need-advice.html) when you make threads like this. kaplods 03-15-2014, 05:26 PM Hubby and I have a cat and a pet rat. Because of our financial situations, we've had to learn to do some medical care for our animals that should normally be done by a vet. It sucks, but you do what you have to do. Excuse me but it wasn't part of him. We made sure of that. And so we trimmed it and it fell out and he's all better and very happy. It was probably just string. If the string-like thing had been part of him, I'd be less concerned. It probably was not a string. Strings do not randomly attach to eyeballs with fleshy things attached. It probably was a parasitic worm of some kind. Clipping it may have killed the worm, causing it to release. If your cat is very lucky, one worm egg got in and grew in his eye and it was a single parasite that attached itself from the outside, and the problem is resolved. I wouldn't count on luck though, because there are many parasitic worms that are deadly before you see any signs of them (such as heartworms, which I believe can infest the eye). At the very least, keep a very close eye on your cat. Check his sleeping areas, his poop (squash the poop and look through it), eyes, nose mouth, genitals and rectum several times a day, for signs of worms. Even if there are none, there are no guarantees that he is now parasite free. Whether or not there are signs of more, he could be dangerously infected. If you can afford a vet visit, I would highly recommend it. You may be tempted to buy an over-the-counter worming medicine, but I would not recommend it, because you don't know what kind of worm you're dealing with. Also killing off the worms can actually be dangerous, if the infestation is severe (for example with heartworms). As I said, I understand the reluctance to get veterinary care, but if you're not going to use a vet, you need to self-educate so that you can diagnose and treat your animals and and know the limits of your abilities, before the situations occur. At the very least, I would recommend that you get a very good comprehensive book on healthcare for cats. One geared towards breeders will give more medical care instructions than one geared towards pet owners. A textbook for vets would be even better, but you need to have a strong science background to understand veterinary texts. I'm not judging you for self-treating, because I do give my animals treatment that should probably be done by vets, but I have a strong science background (with coursework in life sciences in college and graduate school) and self-educated myself. You can self-educate too, but if you don't have a strong science background, this can take a while, so you have to do it before a problem crops up. I just got done treating my rat with antibiotics and lancing a huge abscess under her chin that might be due to a bad tooth. If it is a bad tooth, she will need to go to a vet to have it pulled. I bought the antibiotics (for cows) at a farm supply store and did the math to calculate the rat dosage (which I already had looked up in my rat husbandry book) and lanced the abscess once it came to a head. I wouldn't expect the average person to know how or when to give the antibiotics, the correct dosage, or how to lance the abscess without doing injury, so I would tell anyone else to go to a vet. I know I can't pull a tooth, so if the abscess comes back, I will either have to take my little Pea to the vet, or euthanize her humanely myself. I'm putting money aside so that I can afford to take her to the vet, because I'd rather not have to put her down. I get not being able to take an animal to a vet, even for emergencies, but if that's the case, you need to self-educate so that you're prepared before the situations come up. Getting help from the internet, when the problem is occurring is just not the best solution, because you won't have time or a clear enough head to judge good advice from bad. And if you're going to seek help of any kind online, at least go to a species-specific website (a cat care website, not a weight loss site). You'll still get a lot of bad information and judgement, but you at least have a more reasonable hope that a veterinarian or experienced breeder or pet owner can answer your questions. ReNew Me 03-16-2014, 02:48 PM A little off topic but maybe helpful to someone. The vet CareCredit card allows you to pay off the bill over time with NO interest (usually six months). It's really easy to get -- my stepdaughter qualified when she was working part time at a minimum wage job. Not all vets accept it but if you go on the website you can find a vet near you who does. EagleRiverDee 03-18-2014, 04:03 PM I can't imagine freaking out and being so worried about my pet...and then not taking my pet to the vet ASAP. ReNew Me 03-19-2014, 11:28 AM I can't imagine freaking out and being so worried about my pet...and then not taking my pet to the vet ASAP.There could be a lot of reasons why someone can't get their animal to a vet. Financial is the most obvious, which is why I made the post about Care Credit. But the original post was from January and using myself as an example, I can't drive. If I had a vet emergency when it's way below freezing outside with snow and ice on the ground and no one available to give me a ride I would have to carry my cat in a carrier for a quarter mile just to get to public transportation, which would probably end up with me killing myself on ice or giving the cat pneumonia. A taxi for me would cost about $50 round trip, on top of the base $55 my vet charges for a visit. And saying "if you can't afford to pay for vet care don't get pets". Plenty of people have jobs and money, then get pets, then get laid off and can't find work. Most shelters in my region have had to change their No Kill policy because the economy has created over crowding conditions. kaplods 03-19-2014, 04:36 PM Twelve years ago, I would never have imagined myself being unable to afford and access health care for myself, let alone for my pets. I need a great deal of dental work badly, but medicare does not pay for any dental, and dental insurance is out of the question, so we scrimp and save to get done what we can. In the meantime, teeth that might have been saved with early treatment, will end up having to be pulled by the time we can get to them. The doctor wants me on meds I can't take, because I can't afford them, even with my medicare prescription plan. Drug-cost assistance programs are only for people without any coverage, or for people with lower incomes than we have. If we lived in a more expensive apartment, we'd be eligible for some programs (because rent/mortgage is factored in, but current medical expenses are not. An ER cannot refuse a person care in an emergency for inability to pay, but there is no similar guarantee for pets. If you can't make payment, too bad, Fluffy dies, unless you can learn to do some of the medical care yourself. With my rats over the years, I've discovered that it's often easier and safer to learn basic veterinary care myself than to find a knowledgeable vet. In most communities, vets don't see a lot tiny pets. I actually considered euthanizing one pet rat myself, because I was having trouble finding a vet who would do it (and this was when money wasn't an issue for me). Every vet I called either wouldn't treat small animals or wouldn't see my rat immediately. The rat was unable to breathe, so was in a lot of distress (cancer). Finally, I found a local vet willing to help (a large animal, farm vet, ironically). These experiences taught me that I had to self-educate for my own healthcare and that of my animals, but the time to do that is ideally before a crisis, not in the middle of one. Most of us aren't prepared for crises though, because we're not taught to expect the unexpected. We take things like healthcare and veterinary care for granted until those safety nets are pulled out from under us. vBulletin® v3.6.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

Mobinil (The Egyptian Company for Mobile Services) is one of Egypt's three mobile phone operators. Founded in 1998. The company is majority-owned and fully consolidated by Orange S.A., which owns 93.92% of the shares,[2] 5% of the shares owned by Global Telecom, which was founded by Egyptian billionaire Naguib Sawiris, and 1.08% free float. An old history of dispute between Orange and Global Telecom, known then as Orascom Telecom, started to manifest itself when the former raised the dispute to the International Court of Arbitration in 2007. Mobinil was the first telecom company to receive ISO 14001 certificate in Egypt and the Middle East. It has also obtained official renewal of the ISO 14001 for the fifth consecutive year and also obtained the certification of OHSAS 18001.[3]
As of December 2012, Mobinil has 33.8 million subscribers.[1]
Network and coverage[edit]
Mobinil has:[3]
- 4,299 sites
- 36 switches
- 4503 mobile BTSs with:
- 1. Built-in echo cancellers on all switches
- 2. EFR voice clarity enhancement
- 3. State-of-the-art antennas
Mobinil was the first GSM in Egypt to extend its network services to:[3]
- Underground stations, having installed 17 Micro BTSs covering stations in Cairo.
- Al Azhar Tunnel
- Coverage extends to more than 99% of the Egyptian population.
- Mobinil has international roaming agreements with 348 operators in 135 countries
- Mobinil was the first to establish roaming agreements with the US and Canada, as well as non-GSM Operators in South America extending its services to countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Peru, and The Philippines, to name a few.
- Mobinil offers roaming with satellite operators such as Al-Thuraya.
Recent changes[edit]
On October 17, 2007, Tarek Kamel (Minister of Communication and Information Technology & Chairman of NTRA) as well as Dr. Amr Badawy (NTRA's Executive President) signed the 3G license agreement, giving Mobinil the green light to start 3G services. Representing Mobinil, the agreement was signed by its chairman at the time, Naguib Sawiris, and Eskandar (Alex) Shalaby (Mobinil's President & CEO).[4]
As of September 1, 2008, Alex Shalaby has been appointed chairman and Hassan Kabbani CEO of Mobinil.
On September 1, 2008, Mobinil has officially announced the start of its 3G operations and the launch of the Largest and Newest mobile network in Egypt, after teaming up with the global telecommunication manufacturers Nokia Siemens Networks and Huawei for the 3G roll out
On September 21, 2011, Yves Gauthier has been appointed the new chief executive officer (CEO) of Mobinil, a change that will be effective starting November 15. This follows the resignation of Hassan Kabbani.
On February 13, 2012, Orange announced its intent to buy Sawiris' biggest share in Mobinil for about $2 billion which could be the end of the long-standing dispute between the company's major shareholders.
On May 27, 2012, Orange acquired 94 percent of Mobinil. Orange bought most of the Mobinil shares it did not already own from its local venture partner, Sawiris's Orascom Telecom Media and Technology (OTMT). Orange executed its purchase of 93.9 million shares of the 100 million outstanding at a pre-agreed price of E£202.5 each, for a total transaction value of E£19 billion ($3.15 billion). Sawiris agreed to keep a 5 percent stake in Mobinil.[5]

By Zara Nicholson, Cape Times
POLICE and health-care workers must be trained to deal with sex workers and protect their human rights, MPs said yesterday after a briefing on the plight of women in the sex trade.In a bid to decriminalise the sex trade, the Sex Workers Education and Advocacy Taskforce (Sweat) yesterday highlighted the effects of the stigma attached to sex workers.
Ntokozo Yingwana, advocacy officer for Sweat, told MPs at the Multiparty Women's Caucus that the criminalisation of sex work through the Sexual Offences Act enabled widespread abuse of power by police and health professionals.
Yingwana said the stigma prevented sex workers from getting access to health services. "Sex workers' access to health care is limited due to discrimination by health-care workers, who verbally abuse sex workers for coming to clinics too often for condoms or sexually transmitted disease (STD) treatment," Yingwana said.
She said sex workers often reported abuses by police, such as rape, physical assault and being forced into providing sexual favours. Yingwana said it was also difficult for police to enforce the law as the only evidence they could confiscate was condoms.
She said the confiscation of condoms also posed a threat to sex workers' health.
Several MPs welcomed the presentation and said it was their duty as lawmakers to ensure that sex workers' human rights were protected.
ANC MP Pam Tshwete said: "As lawmakers, we need to know about your concerns and monitor them. It is clear police, society and health-care professionals must be trained to deal with sex workers ."
Other MPs agreed, saying it was important that sex workers' rights were protected from any abuse.
Women's Caucus chairwoman Beauty Dlulane said the presentation by Sweat was an "eye-opener".
"The constitution ensures human rights for all. We now know what issues they face, because we did not want to critisise them without hearing from them," Dlulane said.
She asked all MPs to discuss sex workers' issues with their party caucuses and have further discussions with Sweat.
[This news article was sourced from the IOL.co.za: MPs' eyes opened to rights in sex trade]
Are you dating a John?
By Glynis Horning, Cosmopolitan
Technician Jaco*, 27, is upfront about why he sometimes stops in for 'some action' at a Durban hotel after work. 'There's stuff you just don't like asking your girlfriend to do, right? If you pay a prostitute, it's about business, not feelings, so no-one gets hurt.' It takes more persuasion for him to reveal the services he procures. S&M? Oral sex? He rolls his eyes. Anal sex? He hesitates, then cracks a joke that both confirms it and crudely covers his discomfort.
Durban student Simon*, 22, on the other hand, is vociferously against 'exploiting a vulnerable class of women for sexual gratification'. A Humanities major and supporter of the Jes Foord Foundation (which assists rape survivors), he says, 'I hope I have the balls to discuss my needs with my girlfriends and appreciate theirs. The women I date are pretty open-minded. But if I seriously fancied someone who wasn't, I'd accept it and take responsibility for my jollies – that's what a healthy imagination is for.'
Differences such as these between Jaco and Simon reflect something of the range of responses recorded in a recent controversial US survey that has sparked much debate and criticism. Entitled 'Comparing Sex Buyers With Men Who Don't Buy Sex: "You can have a good time with the servitude" vs "You're supporting a system of degradation"', the survey was conducted by Melissa Farley, director of Prostitution Research And Education (a nonprofit project of the San Francisco Women's Centers). It received coverage in July's Newsweek magazine, which was accused of poor journalism by critics for covering Farley's contentious findings.
The magazine article stated that 'the men who buy sex are your neighbours and colleagues' and that Farley's survey 'reveals how the burgeoning demand for porn and prostitutes is warping personal relationships and endangering women and girls'. Newsweek reported that estimates regarding the percentage of men who engage in buying sex range 'from 16% to 80%', and that Farley found it so common in the digital age that her team struggled to find 'nonusers' for their control group. Farley's broad definition of 'men who pay for sex' included any man who has paid a prostitute, escort, massage-parlour or sex worker; guys who have ever exchanged 'something of value' for a sex act, and men who had – even once – in the past year bought a porn magazine, had a lap-dance, set foot inside a strip club or watched porn online.
Among her findings (available on www.prostitutionresearch.com) were that men who buy sex are more likely to see sex as separate from relationships, enjoy the lack of emotional connection with sex workers and see them as objects, more frequently express aggression towards women, and are more likely to be associated with crimes of violence against women. Sex workers risk abuse, assault and even death. Over time, says Farley, men's tastes change and they look for more anal sex and S&M, which can negatively impact on their relationships if partners are reluctant to comply.
Should women wory about Farley's findings? Sally-Jean Shackleton, executive director of the Sex Workers Education And Advocacy Taskforce (SWEAT) in Cape Town, doesn't think so. There's been scant research internationally into those who pay for sex services such as prostitution and porn, and none locally, she says.
'Farley has always had a negative view of sex work and her research has been widely discredited,' she says.
'Yes, today there's increased access to porn and sex work, but it also means people have more information about their bodies, sex and desires, which is not necessarily a bad thing. We need to open, not close, the space being given to sexuality, and increase the balance of information.'
In fact, Farley is a known anti-pornography activist and a self-declared 'prostitution abolitionist'. Her detractors point out her extremely reactionary behaviour, including the fact that she's been arrested 13 times in nine US states for going into sex shops and ripping up or burning copies of Penthouse magazine.
As for Farley's concerns that porn and sex work fuel violence against women, Shackleton says there's no convincing evidence of this. Farley makes 'an impossible leap of association' and her study consisted of only 201 men in Boston – in paid-for interviews. 'When sex workers in SA tell us about harassment and violence, it's mostly at the hands of police officers,' Shackleton says.
Sexologist Dr Elna McIntosh, director of DISA Sexual And Reproductive Health Clinic in Johannesburg, has met Farley. 'She's anathema to many in the sex industry because sex work is a choice they make,' she says. McIntosh agrees that with easier access to porn and transactional sex, men could be 'desensitised', especially to previously taboo practices such as anal sex. 'But if to read about or view such practices made you run around and rape, and commit other violent crimes, that's what sexologists would be doing.'
Explicit material combining sex with violence or showing women in degrading ways may reinforce or increase sexist attitudes and sexual aggression, but only in 'the small percentage of men' who already have these attitudes, she says. 'Most sexual offenders come from punitive homes and were exposed to sexual and physical abuse themselves.'
Research has shown that less than 10% of X-rated or hard-core material in most explicit books, magazines and videos contains aggression, she says, and less than three percent involves physical violence or rape. 'R-rated material contains much more violence, though most R-rated movies don't have full nudity or explicit sex – their material isn't even seen as pornographic, but it's very sexually suggestive and promotes sexist attitudes more than the X-rated material,' McIntosh says.
Zanele*, 28, is a prostitute operating from a Durban hotel. She ran away from 'trouble at home' as a teen. Through sex work, Zanele saved enough to get matric by correspondence as well as a computer qualification. 'But I can't find a job, and I have a child and my mother to support.'
She says her clients are getting rougher. 'They get ideas from sex videos. Sometimes they demand anal and you feel like you're being raped, but they say they have paid.' Once she was being choked but managed to scream for help. 'One friend came back with scars on her face; another girl disappeared. Many take drugs to feel okay.' Zanele is proud that she doesn't. 'I don't enjoy my work,' she says flatly, 'but I know I'm doing what many ordinary girls do to thank a guy for dinner or new shoes. They can hate me or fear me, but for now I don't have a choice.'
Sex work ranges widely from streetwalking to up-market brothels and private escort agencies, each with a particular culture and unwritten code of practice. 'Some sex workers establish regular relationships with clients; for others, sex is purely business and anonymous,' says Cape Town clinical social worker Dr Gordon Isaacs. 'As in any relationship, empathy, warmth, jealousy and even abuse can be part of an interaction.'
In South Africa some 500 000 women are raped each year, he says. But this is a reflection of complex historical, political, social and economic factors – sex work and pornography can't be targeted for blame. Internationally, Internet porn is soaring. US technology media company Tech Media Network CEO Jerry Ropelato reports at internet-filter-review.toptenreviews.com that, 'Every second, 28 258 Internet users are viewing pornography. In that same second 372 Internet users are typing adult search terms into search engines. Every 30 minutes, a new pornographic video is being created in the US.'
South Africans are tapping into these sites, says McIntosh, among them a local amateur black porn site, www.sondeza.com. Last year the young IT entrepreneur behind it, Tau Morena, produced the first local black porn movie, Mapona, starring pole dancer Palesa Mbau. 'You can buy hard-core DVDs for R10 at taxi ranks; they sell even to kids,' says Morena. 'My stuff is soft core and guys wear condoms.' Follow-ups will be 'educational erotica', showing how to put on condoms sensually and how to 'go down'. 'I play a useful role in society,' he says.
This is also what high-end sex workers say, including 24-year-old Mbau. 'Money doesn't make people better,' she tells COSMO, 'but if you respect yourself, they respect you. I do what suits me – tonight I'm being taken to Sandton for dinner and I'm being paid for it.' She says she doesn't feel exploited. 'If I'm not in the mood, I tell guys to call another time.
Some push for things I don't do, or they don't want to wear a condom, but then they get to see my bad side. You must be brave in this industry and I don't take nonsense.' A 30-something Johannesburg dominatrix who advertises online as 'South Africa's youngest and most sought-after fetish mistress' (www.missdi.co.za) is – unsurprisingly – equally firm. 'I used to be in corporate management but got tired of the politics and red tape. In this job I can say, "There's the door, fuck off!"'
She laughs at the idea that what she does could encourage violence against women or threaten clients' intimate relationships. 'It's role-playing; clients know any manhandling by them would bring an assistant running and a lifetime ban. I'm giving them what they can't get from the other women in their lives, so I'm doing those women a favour.'
Those who pay prostitutes range from pop stars and politicians to professionals, 'women as well as men', and many are married, says Isaacs. Their motivation is equally varied – a need to express themselves sexually, migrancy, living in hostels or dorms, loneliness, 'as well as a need for different sexual experiences based on fantasy and desire'. Says McIntosh, 'The prostitute's client could be my son or your boyfriend.
These men come to me with one thing in common, the "afraids" – they're afraid they have HIV/Aids, even if they used a condom. It's a guilt/confession thing; they want reassurance. Almost all of them say, "This is not who I am, I was away from home, I felt lonely and horny," and alcohol is generally involved.'
Many tell her they have only 'missionary' sex with their partner, or are in a new relationship and don't know how far they can push boundaries. 'If only couples communicated more,' she says. Conservative upbringing and culture often hold them back. Durban nail artist, Selvie*, 22, tells how she 'tried to accommodate' her husband's porn-fuelled interest in oral and anal sex after discovering he was visiting a massage parlour. 'But I can't stand it! I've even tried watching porn with him; it's a turn-off.' They are in therapy but she worries about her relationship. 'Sometimes I'd almost rather he paid other women,' she says.
Using porn or going to strip clubs is only a problem if the person becomes preoccupied or obsessed with sexual activity, or ventures into illegal areas such as paedophilic porn or bestiality, or if it worries their partner, says McIntosh. 'If you think your man has a problem, tell him you're concerned because his behaviour is impacting on your relationship, which you value. Offer to go with him to see a certified sex therapist.'
The same applies if you discover he's been to a sex worker. 'This can hurt more, because it raises questions of infidelity and HIV/Aids,' she says. 'If you still want to stick with him, go to therapy – preferably together.'

I mean really, great beer even when you screw up, cheap as hell, and fun to make and you can get really creative and make your own from scratch. Why is everyone not doing this? Not only is everyone not doing this, but I've actually got sort of hostile responses from people when I tell them I make my own. I think its the coolest thing on the planet... I have three hobbies, shooting, brewing and woodworking, and I have to say, this one is my favorite.
I agree, brewing is awesome! But I could ask "Why is everyone not doing this?" about all of my hobbies. I make my own cheese and yogurt. I make my own soap. My soap is terrific, and it costs pennies per bar. My yogurt was cheap, too. My chevre is about 1/4 the cost of the store bought. My wines are even cheaper- since the fruit is free. Many hobbies are fun, but don't produce anything. Like golf, for instance. But brewing is a hobby that is not only fun to do but has a great end result- BEER! I guess some people just don't think of it the same way.
I agree, brewing kicks arse. How hard is it to make yogurt?
Hey, knock that shvt off. We're drinkin' here.
I think it is because people in general are lazy, uncreative, and completely dependent on pre-packaged goods, many homebrewers are also hunters, gardeners, fishermen, craftsmen, etc.. working with our hands is a joy, to be able to create a great beer, or harvest our own food is not something that everyone wants to do, some of my friends love my beer but would rather go buy beer than spend the time to make it themselves. We are just a different brand of human.
Shirts n Steins: Grain Reaper Brewing
it doesn't mean enough to most people. they are content with drinking bud and making your own is a lot of work. it amazes me when sitting at a bar with a great variety of beers (even at a brewery) and people order bud light or miller lite. These guys probably own 80% of the market so the majority of people don't care much and will never go to the trouble of making their own.
God is great, beer is good and people are crazy....
Can I have your business card?

DANVILLE — For months, Russell Harding has been waiting to resolve his assault case and return to the Board of Selectmen.
In early January, Harding notified the board he wouldn't be returning until after Feb. 28. But now, his return could be much later — if it happens at all.
Harding, 35, was scheduled to appear in 10th Circuit Court in Plaistow this afternoon for his trial on two misdemeanor assault charges. He was charged last summer with grabbing a teenage boy during Danville's Movie Night and slamming his head against a table.
The two misdemeanor charges, each punishable by a year in jail, were dropped Friday and the trial canceled, but Harding's case has been referred to the Rockingham County attorney's office for further review, according to New Hampshire State Police prosecutor Jean Reed.
That means Harding could be indicted on felony charges, which are punishable by incarceration in state prison.
Reed declined to comment further, referring questions to County Attorney James Reams. Reams could not be reached for comment yesterday.
Harding was arrested following a confrontation with the teenager Aug. 18 at Day Field. Harding later admitted he pushed the boy after believing he was damaging the town's movie equipment. Harding said he did nothing more than push the boy.
Five teenagers from Danville, Atkinson and Plaistow were expected to testify at the trial, along with Harding's wife, Stephanie, and fellow selectman and police Officer Michelle Cooper, who responded to the incident. Since the incident occurred, the investigation has been handled by state police to avoid any possible conflicts, according to Danville police Chief Wade Parsons.
Harding, a second-year selectman, surrendered to state police after an arrest warrant was issued in September. He has been free on $5,000 personal recognizance bail.
Harding has not attended a selectmen's meeting since September and notified the board in November that he was taking an unpaid leave of absence. Danville selectmen make $250 a month.
Last month, Harding sent a letter to his colleagues, saying he didn't want his legal troubles to be a distraction, according to Selectmen Chairman Shawn O'Neil.
Harding also said he didn't expect to return to the board until after Feb. 28. He has refused to speak publicly about the case since his arrest and did not return calls seeking comment yesterday. His attorney, Raymond Mello, was also unavailable for comment.
Harding has said he made a mistake when he defied the police chief's decision to cancel Movie Night Aug. 18 because of a threat of rain that day.
Harding, convinced it would not rain, got the key to the town's storage area and brought the movie projector, inflatable screen and other equipment to Day Field. Residents were notified hours earlier that the movie had been canceled.
Harding, who helped organize Movie Night along with the Recreation Committee and Police Department, said he was afraid the event would not be rescheduled if it were canceled. It didn't rain and only one family showed up. As Harding was getting ready to put the screen, projector and other items away, he saw the teenage boy near the equipment. Harding said he yelled at the boy and asked what he was doing. Another volunteer called Danville police. Harding said he stepped between the teenager and the equipment, afraid it would be damaged.
"In doing so, I guess I came in contact with him," Harding said.
After the incident, selectmen asked Harding for his resignation, saying the incident had become a distraction. Harding refused. O'Neil and the board's other three members said Harding overstepped his bounds when he ignored the cancellation of Movie Night and allegedly assaulted the boy.
Selectmen have expressed frustration with Harding's absence as they prepare for town elections next month while missing a board member with no way to replace him.
Under state law, a public official can be removed from office only if convicted of a felony. If Harding faces felony charges, it could affect his return to the board.

Have any of the members tried using OxiClean as an algaecide? The MSDS shows OxiClean is mainly 50-70% Sodium Percarbonate. Here's a description of Sodium Percarbonate.
Sodium percarbonate (Synonyms: sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate, sodium carbonate peroxide, PCS) is a free-flowing powder with a common name of solid hydrogen peroxide, it is an addition compound of sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide. Percarbonate has an active available oxygen content which is equivalent to 27.5% H2O2. It breaks down to oxygen, water and sodium carbonate upon decomposition. It's an environmentally safe bleaching agent. |
Follow-Up Postings:
This is a good question. Why don't you call/email the Oxyclean people and ask? Then post the response here. Be sure to tell them that most growers use their systems to produce food crops. |
Aside from trying to determine if OxiClean is a potential source of hydrogen peroxide for algae control I tried to figure out if it would make sense cost wise. I'm assuming 1 Tbsp. of OxiClean is equal to 1 oz. I'm also assuming a 300 PPM solution. Based on these assumptions it is seven times cheaper per gallon to use the OxiClean than the 16 oz. bottle of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide. Item--------OxiClean Reg. Formula---3% Hydrogen Peroxide By the way got a nice email from the Orange Glo Corp. in response to my query asking me to call during business hours and talk to a customer care specialist. |
Check outn this EPA registration for a product for horticultural uses containing the same primary ingredient. An important question is what are the inert ingredients? |
Here is a link that might be useful: Terracyte
Good find and good question. No mention of any trace elements in the EPA document. In the mean time I'm using a 1000 PPM solution of OxiClean to clean out my buckets. |

Thanks for writing. If you're interested in working on Cisco systems and equipment full-time, the CCNP is not a bad (nor terribly expensive) certification to obtain, but the CCSP is indeed growing in popularity, acceptance, and demand as well.
I'd let your interests dictate your certification direction: CCNP if you're more interested in networking infrastructure than in information security, and CCSP if vice-versa. I'm not aware of any free certifications, especially in the Cisco domain.
As for the ideal path to certification, that depends on the individual seeking same, and his or her technical interests and abilities (as well as budget, to some extent).

Does marching around with a bunch of weird, wild women wearing beards and merkins sound appealing to you? If so, you may be an excellent candidate for the Bearded Oysters, an organization of 500+ parading ladies who hit the streets in custom costumes and show off their various talents for an adoring public. The club started in New Orleans as part of the Mardi Gras parade circuit, and is now looking to recruit in New York in time for the N.Y.C. Halloween Parade. As they say, "the world is truly their oyster"; they plan to launch chapters in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Austin next year, and are plotting their delightfully strange domination of other cities for the future.
The Bearded Oysters seek "women of all shapes, sizes, colors, and ages to...create a network of diverse sisterhood," and promise that "behind the hula hooping, bubble blowing, radical dancing, ribbon twirling, strutting, bead tossing, clowning, and street performing is the most unique feminist movement you could ever have the pleasure to witness." Sounds pretty fun to me, but my favorite part? All members must wear beards.
Karina Nathan, the costume designer of--and bearded mama behind--the Oysters.
If you're a shy gal who clams up easy, marching with the Bearded Oysters might be a great way to come out of your shell.
If you're interested in joining the fun and literally walking all over stereotypes, contact "Mother Shucker" Miss Karina by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com. For more information, visit the Bearded Oysters' website, which features so many amazing puns that it was insanely difficult for me not to use any/all of them, or check them out on Facebook.

Growing up in Toronto Devylle's first love was rapping. Having modeled the runway during his early years, Devylle acquired a taste for the spotlight and knew that he wanted more. It began when Devylle and his younger brother would rap over other artist's songs using a tape deck. However Devylle's grandparents were strict and were against this road for their grandson. Even his father had other plans for him, so rapping was out of the question.
But this didn't stop the young artist from gaining inspiration from Canibus, LL Cool J, method man and Wu-Tang. Later, in high school it was reggae artists such as Beanie Man, Sanchez, Buju Banton and Bounty Killa which peaked his interest. At this same time Devylle gained experience as a dancehall DJ alongside his best friend. When Nelly came out with Country Grammer in 2000, Devylle changed his focus back to hip hop with an even greater determination to follow his talent to the top, despite what anyone else had to say.
Taking it back to hip hop while in high school, it was artists such as Nelly, Timberland, 50 Cent and Eminem that inspired Devylle, along with his producer uncle Docta, to start writing. With everyone in school already calling him Nelly, with the talent so obvious, it had begun. During high school, Devylle in an effort to placate his grandparents and father went into the graphic design and advertising, but all the while pursuing his talent and passion for hip hop.
In 2005 Devylle put out his first mixtape entitled Men of Movements which he wrote and produced entirely himself. The results were a success in every way. Toronto's hip hop scene loved what Devylle had to offer. In September of the same year, his single Holla Bak made its way onto the Roots Canada Compilation. In 2006 Devylle released another single entitled Do You Like That, produced by himself. Do You Like Dat made it on the Z103.5 Hit Mix which was sold in every music store across Canada. It was also featured on the Flow 93.5 flow mix Compilation. The success of the single resulted in performances with Genuine, Chris Brown, Massari, Elephant Man and Nas. He also performed in Toronto nightclubs in front of overwhelming numbers of fans.
In 2006 he also toured Europe with his music. The reception was an overwhelming success. Despite everything, his number one fan is his father.
In December 2009 the mixtape Wrapping was released. Included are collaborations with Stereos lead singer Pat Kordyback and Lomaticc. Wrapping has received praise from industry heads such as Jhevon Paris, Mark Spickola (Universal A&R), 4Korners (Toronto Raptors DJ) and many more. Also featured on the Wrapping mixtape are two of Devylle's new artists, Roze and City Boy.
Devylle also has a passion for film. As an aspiring actor in 2003 he appeared alongside Jessica Alba and Mikhi Phifer in Honey.
Devylle is currently working on a solo mixtape with a release date to be announced. It promises to be groundbreaking. Also look out for his newest single with Jhevon Paris.
He is producing solo mixtapes for his artists' City Boy and Roze. With the hype of their collaborations on Wrapping their solo projects are much anticipated. Also singer Kaity Wess is about to drop her first single under Devylle's production. So stay tuned.
In March Devylle will be going on tour at a stage near you. Dates are going to be announced shortly. So stay updated and do not miss Devylle LIVE.
Devylle is constantly working on something new. Wherever he may go in the future one thing is certain: it's soon to be a RAP.

Tony Hale's a funny guy, and Paul Feig (somewhat) recently made a funny movie. We're already in business.
Anyway, Variety reports that the former will appear for the latter's newest effort, The Heat, a cop comedy starring Melissa McCarthy and Sandra Bullock. Now, while fans of his Arrested Development/Veep work might be somewhat disappointed to read about the part — seeing as it sounds pretty small and what-not — I imagine him as "a man who McCarthy's character arrests for soliciting a prostitute" and can only laugh.
The screenplay, by Katie Dippold (Parks and Recreation), doesn't center on arrests of that sort, but two law enforcement officers — "a high-strung FBI agent" (Bullock) and "unconventional Boston cop" (McCarthy) — who have to find and arrest a Russian mobster. John Baker (or "Spoken Reasons") is also starring in The Heat, which will begin shooting next month.
Now, for competing action movies. As Variety informs us that James Woods is in talks for Roland Emmerich's White House Down, Deadline also reports that Radha Mitchell (The Crazies, Surrogates) will appear in Olympus Has Fallen, an Antoine Fuqua outing cut from the same cloth. (Both movies, essentially, are about a Secret Service member — Channing Tatum in House, Gerard Butler in Olympus — saving the President from terrorists who've taken over the White House.)
The first of these projects would see the Videodrome actor play "head of the presidential detail" — in this one, the President is played by Jamie Foxx — while that other film has secured the actress to appear as Leah, wife of Butler's Secret Service hero.
Aaron Eckhart is taking Presidential duties in Olympus, and will co-star with Angela Basset & Dylan McDermott; White House Down also features Maggie Gyllenhaal. Both are expected to begin shooting in the next couple of months.
Might Hale bring the funny to The Heat? Which of these White House actioners is shaping up more nicely?

To begin, a cliché (albeit one that's true): a great first scene will tell you how to watch the rest of the movie. Not necessarily who is important to the story, or what the major themes will be, but instead rhythms, what to look for in a shot, and ways to interpret meaning (which is […]
